Hunting Creek Lake

One of the most popular state parks in Maryland for families is definitely Cunningham Falls State Park. It is just stunning. It's a great place for camping or just relaxing in the outdoors for the day. The park is lovely all year round, and the fall foliage is breathtaking. Hunting Creek Lake, also known as William Houck Lake, is particularly well-liked. The sandy beach at the lake is a highly well-liked vacation spot in the summer, and boating and fishing are also quite popular activities.

The weekend before Memorial Day through Labor Day, lifeguards are on duty every day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, the beach is only officially available for swimming from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Environmental awareness is greatly enhanced by the Scales and Tales program. Visitors can get up close and personal with non-returnable reptiles and wild birds of prey like eagles.

The hike to Cunningham Falls in the William Houck Area of Cunningham Falls State Park is a great one for little ones. Cunningham Falls State Park is a terrific place for a wide range of entertaining activities if you're seeking for something other than swimming.
